A WOMAN'S WISH.

What would be, il could have
Ny wish All well, / ween
You know what would be ! OF course
/ could be but . queen.
Ah yes, indeed A queen Pdibe,
To rule by right divine
And all I'd fixed my fancy on
Should be forever mine.
A queen I'd be who'd wear her crown
As lightly As flower
For loves sake, but o never, no,
For paltry pelf or power.
Ny kingdom, it should be as broad
As Gods own gracious skies;
And all nay tribute, but the light
OF one dear pair Of eyes
The light Of eyes that do ouuhiae
The steady stars above,
And-shall / ever hear them words
OF love from lips love.
D Pate. forbesr! Be kind and let
Ne play my womaR's part,
Only one throne / ask, and but
To queen il DER the heart.

Natural Religion.

Boston Traveller.
Little George, after his mother had
prepared him for bed, while still in
her lap, used to say his evening pray
er. One night he said:
81 don't want to say my prayers in
this way" and getting out of his
mothers lap, he knelt down before
her. and placing his open hands to-
gether, repeated his prayer.
When mis- father heard Of this he
was much interested. He always felt
that this was the proper attitude in
prayer in the family and in the closet.
As nothing had been said to George
on the subject, he thought it was
evidence of sort of natural religion.
George" said his father, "do you
suppose God likes to have you say
your prayers this way better than the
way you used to ?"
"Oh, don't suppose God cares
anything about it. | was thinking of

He had lately been to the menagerie
and seen that animal sitting on its
launches with its fore feet placed to-
gether somewhat as he placed his
hands in saying his prayers.

White Horses and Warm Wealth

among thousands of horses every day

eve have forty or fifty of them
among the $50 We employ. and | never
knew of but one that gave out from
the effects of the heat in my expert
ence of twenty years in a stable. This,
too was hardly a fair case. as the
horse was pulling a heavy coupe,
which was overloaded, up one of Fair
mounts steep hills. His illness was
only momentary, and as soon as he
received a little care he was all right
again.
"Can | account for it?
"Well not exactly. But / suppose
that white or gray does not extract
the heat like darker colors. You have
probably noticed this in your dress.
A black shiny-surfaced coat seems to
burn into your very flesh. while a gar
ment of light.colored cloth appears
cool and breezy. This is probably
why white or gray horses stand the
heat better. They are not so suscep-
tible to the suns rays
keep sharp lookout after this,
and you will see that cases where white
or gray horses succumb to the heat
are as rare as the dead donkey in
England"
A veterinary surgeon, speaking on
the same subject, said that the livery
mans theory that the light cOlOrs did
not attract the heat so readily as the
darker ones was correct.
"This is well known" said the sur
geon, Sin many of the countries where
the climate is very warm and for this
reason alone horses of dark cOlOrs are
rarely seen. In Cuba white, gray or
sorrel horses bring high prices, while
black and dark bays can be bought
for song. The people of the wealth
Ter class will not buy them at all, and
as a consequence, no dark horses are
brought into the country"

sault with intent to kill John Wall
and Edward Fitzgerald.
1t was good scheme for them to
plead "not guilty." and waive exami-
nation, but it is hardly probable that
the men they so badly used up will
leave the state until they have testi-
fed against their assaulters and
launched them behind the bars where
it is understood-they have been
before.
III. H. Hathaway, secretary of the
Doris d Colvin's circus, arrived in
the city this morning, to act in behalf
of the accused men, but as Justice
Blair placed their bond at $4,000
it is more than reasonable
to believe that they will
await the action of the November
criminal court within the confines of
the county Jail.
They have splendid chances for the
states prison, and, as one of them re-
marked in court this morning, 81 be-
live our names are Dennis" shows an
idea that they are bordering upon the
same opinion regarding their fate.
Marshal jackson and Joe Gossage
returned from Lexington yesterday
without capturing "Big George" and
"Menagerie White" solely because,
as Marshal Jackson says, Deputy
Sheriff Williams, of that city, was
drunk, and as soon as he heard of the
matter, went to one of The girls in the
show and gave the who'd thing away.
The news that two officers from Sc
dalia were there after the men
spread among the showmen like wild.
fire, and if the two desperadoes were
with the snow they were warned and
given time to hide themselves.
1t was while Officers Jackson and
Gossage were inside the tent talking
to some one, that Colvin, one of the
proprietors, came up and said that he
understood there were Off
GERS from Sedalia look
ing for the men who had had the
fight. Then it was that Jackson
said: "Joe, let's go home" and they
started for the train, which had pulled
out some time before.
Marshal Jackson stated this morn
ing that he never saw more DRINKS
at a circus than at Lex
ington, that the officers
there only arrested one member of the
gang and that there were fully seven
ty-fve in a beastly state of intoxica-
ton. He added that the show men
had everything their own way, and
that there were about . dozen big
fights and not man arrested with
the exception of the one stated. Lex.
ington must be dry town, when
inside the tent the officers say that the
mud was ankle deep.
Mr.. Hathaway stated to the BAzoo
this afternoon that the trouble be-
tween the showmen originated from
the discharge of Wall and Fitzgerald
on the day before, that these two men
were trying to pick fight all day,
and had been driven away from the
ticket wagon to protect ladies from in

George" and "Menagerie White" were
not with the show now, but were

Sedalia, and that this was the first
trouble the show had gotten into this
season.

The best medical writer's claim that
the successful remedy for nasal cstarrh
must be non-irritating, easy of application,
and one that will by It's own action reach
all the remote sores and liberated surfaces.
The history of the efforts TO treat cstarrh
during the past few yeara obliges US to ad-
NIT that only one remedy has completely
met these conditions, and that is Ely's
Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant rem
edy has mastered catarrh as nothing else
has ever done, and both physicians and pa
tients freely concede this fact. The dis
trsssing symptoms quickly yield to it.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-Since the fact OF

tied his ranch, about three miles from Sonora
The house of Kissane is OF stone, with broad
verandas. At his home are his wife and grown
daughter. To a reporter. to-day, the wife of
Kissane said that General Francis Darr. to
whom is ascribed the reopening of Kissanes
Eastern career, made tho exposure owing
to kissanes failure to pay a claim for
$34, 900 on account of the Chemical Bank of New
York. Since the suit had actually been COM
menced the amount has dropped to 81 800. Mrs.
Rogers says General Darr and his wife visited
them at their house prior to the publication of
the details of her husbands supposed career
She claims to have taken inventory of their
effects, but had expressed only the most friendly
personal regard Mrs. Rogers asked how
she thought the affair would end, and responded
"I know how it would have ended long ago if
had not begged and implored my husband, for
my sake and the sake of children, to leave
the punishment of Darrs malice and cruelty to
some other hand than his own. 1t is well for
General Darr that Colonel Rogers has family
around him, some of them little ones. or long be-
fore this he would have had to have settled with
the man whom he has pursued like fiend for no
cause that we imagine, except the desire to
sxtort money" She said her husband would de-
fend the matter in the courts.
